On the 17 th day of January eight- een hundred and thirty four personally appeared in open court before the Hon. Thomas Burnside, President & his associates Judges of the court of Common Pleas in and for said County being a court of record, now sitting James Glasgow a resident of Derry Township Mifflin County & State of Pennsylvania aged about seventy one years, who being duly sworn accor- ding to law doth on his oath make the following de- claration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed 7 th June 1832.
That he entered into the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated. That in the year 1780, he was drafted for a two months tour in the Militia of Penn- sylvania - in what was then Derry Township Cumberland County now Decatur Township Mifflin County & State of Pennsylvania, and marched under Captain Robert Means, Lieutenant David Coulter and Ensign John Reed to Potters Fort in Penns. Valley then Cumberland (now Centre) County - to guard the frontier against the incursions of the Indians. The company was about fifty men, I was one of the sentries selected as scouts, and was kept in that service during my tour, On one or two oc- casions went as far as Watson's Fort the next military station - Captain Johnstone was in command at Potters Fort when we arrived there on our arrival he marched his company to Buffalo Valley, and Captain Means was left in command of the station, after the expiration of our time of service I was marched home and dismissed, which was some time in the month of October, 1780. The remaining members of the company besides the captain and my- self are either dead or removed from this section of the country.
Shortly after his discharge viz: late in the fall of 1780, he was again drafted, and marched under Colonel Brown of the Pennsylvania Militia as a scouting party against the Indians who had been mar-

ring incursions into the settlements, and murdering the inhabitants. There were between twenty and thirty men with Colonel Brown, and no other commissioned officer. We marched to the Bald Eagle in Centre County where we were stationed for some time. And returned through Huntingdon County. We were six weeks out on this tour, on our return I was discharged. There is no one living in my knowledge, that accompanied this expedition but himself.
In the Spring following (1781) the this detachment was again drafted for a two months tour to guard the frontier against the Indians was marched under Lieutenant Richard Johnstone of the Pennsylvania Militia. There was about thirty men engaged under Lieutenant Johnstone in this expedition - & no other commissioned officer. We marched to the Big Island in Lycoming County Pennsylvania - thence up the Bald Eagle where we encamped some time - thence along the Allegheny Mountain, & returned through Huntingdon County, at the expiration of two months we were discharged. There is no person now living in this country that accompanied me in this expedition.
I was again called out, I think in the Fall of 1781 on a scout against the Indians, was marched under the command of Captain James Magill of the Pennsylvania Militia there were about twenty men in this scout. We followed the trail of the Indians through Penns. valley to the Allegheny Mountain - they having retired beyond the mountain, they having retired beyond the mountains we returned home & were dismissed. We were engaged in this expedition six weeks. No other commissioned officer with the expedition but Captain Magill.
I was again drafted as a scout some time in the year 1782 at the time the Indians made an incursion into this country, & took George Beigh & others prisoners killed a woman down at the Beaver Dams in Union County & burnt several houses, we were drafted and marched under Captain Thomas Beale afterwards

(Judge Beale of this County) I cannot recollect how many men were engaged in this scout. I think from 30 to 40 we pursued the trail of the Indians a considerable distance up the west branch of the Susquehanna but did not come up with them. We returned home and were dismissed. No other commissioned officer accompanied the expedition. We were absent on this scout three weeks. The persons who accompanied are all either dead or removed to the west. My whole service amounts to upwards of six months.
There are but few persons living that were engaged in the company I was in. I know of none but Captain Robert Means.
I was born in the year 1761 in December in the County of Tyrone in Ireland. I have no record of my age. It was entered in my father's bible, but was torn out & lost.
At the time I was called into service I resided in Derry Township, Cumberland County with my father, on which I continued to reside for a number of years, when Cumberland County was divided & Mifflin County erected. I now reside in Derry Township, Mifflin County.
I was drafted as a Militia man under Captain Means, Major & Lieutenant Johnston and Colonel Brown. I went as a volunteer under Captain Beale.
In my first tour Robert Means was Captain David Beall Lieutenant & John Reed Ensign - in my second tour Colonel Brown was my only officer, in my third tour Lieutenant Richard Johnston was the only officer, and in my fourth tour Captain James Magill was the only officer, and in my fifth tour Captain Thomas Beale was the only officer. In the different expeditions I was in we met with no Continental troops or Militia except Captain Johnston's Company of seven months men, at Forts.
I never received any discharge when my term of service was up. I was permitted to return home & never asked for

or obtained a discharge Colonel Stephen Hinds & Samuel Mitchell have known me for a number of years, and can testify for my character and veracity and their belief in my services as a Militia man in the Revolutionary war
The Rev d James S. Woods of the Presbyterian Church can testify to my having been a member of his church & to my character for veracity.
I hereby relinquish every claim whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present from the United States & declare that my name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state -

Dear Sir
Enclosed I send you the paper of James Hadgson, who is making application for a pension. I now think of no irregularity in the application, unless James McCord ought to have been certified by the Prothonotary, as an acting Justice of the Peace. Milton however was of opinion that the whole paper being attached together, the certificate of the Prothonotary herewith was sufficient without a second. Therefore if there should any difficulty arise on that account, have the goodness to inform Mr. Edwards of his being a Justice.
Our petition is a true Jackson demurrer and in the most needful situation, therefore your execution will much gratify the old fellow, and greatly facilitate to the maintenance of his children, for he has as many as "John Rodger's wife".

To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met
The petition of James Glasgow a Citizen of Seny Township Mifflin County, most respectfully sets forth:—
That he served in the Revolutionary war, as a militia man, as hereafter set forth, that he is now old, being about seventy-one years of age, infirm and poor, and that without the aid of his Country he is unable to support himself, His services were as follows viz: In the month of August 1780, when about eighteen years of age, he was drafted for a two months' tour in the Militia of Pennsylvania, under the Command of Captain Robert Means of Seny Township, then Cumberland now Mifflin County, to guard the frontier against the Indians, was marched to Potters Fort Centre County, the Company was about sixty men strong, Robert Means was our Captain, David Boulter Lieutenant, and John Reed Ensign, It was detached with fifteen others as scouts, on which service I was employed during the tour. At the expiration of time I was marched home and discharged. I have no discharge, if ever I had one, it is lost. Captain Means is the only Member of the Company now living besides myself That I know of.
Shortly after my discharge, viz- late in the fall of 1780 I was again called, and marched under Colonel
Proctor

Colon of the Pennsylvania Militia, on a scouting party against the Indians, who had been making incursions into this part of the Country and murdering the Inhabitants, There were between Twenty and Thirty persons engage in this Scout, we marched to the Bald Eagle in Centre County, where we were stationed for some time, and returned through Huntingdon County, I was five weeks engaged in this tour. On my return I was discharged, there is no person living in deponents knowledge, that can prove this expedition. In the Spring following (1781) I was again drafted for a two months tour, to guard the frontiers against the incursions of the Indians, was marched under Lieutenant Richard Johnson, of the Pennsylvania Militia. There were about thirty men engaged in this Expedition. He marched to the big Island in Lycoming County, thence up the Bald Eagle, where we encamped some time, thence along the Allegheny Mountain, and returned through Huntingdon County. At the expiration of two months, the time for which I was drafted, I was discharged. I know of no person living, who accompanied me in this expedition.
I was again called in the fall of 1781, as a Scout against the Indians was marched under Captain James Magill of the Pennsylvania Militia. There were about Twenty men in this Scout, we followed

followed the trail of the Indians through Penns Valley, to the Allegheny Mountain. They having retired beyond that Mountain, we returned home and were dismissed. I know of no person living who accompanied me in this expedition.
I was again called as a Scout against the Indians, in the Year 1782, at the time the Indians made an incursion into Mifflin (then Cumberland County) took George Seigler and other pris- oners, killed a woman at the Bears Den in Union County, and burnt several houses. We were drafted and marched under Captain Thomas Beale, (afterwards Judge Beale of Mifflin County) we pursued the Indians a considerable distance up the West Branch of the Susquehanna, but did not come up with them. We returned home and were discharged, we were engaged this Scout three weeks. The persons who accompanied me are all either dead or removed from this County.
At the different times I was drafted or called into service, I resided with my father in Seny Township Mifflin County Pennsylvania, then Cumberland County. I have no discharges. Those I received were lost. I was born in the County Ty- rone, Ireland, in the month of October 1761 Your petitioner therefore prays your honorable bodies to grant him such gratuity and such yearly pension as

as the laws of this Commonwealth grant in like cases, And your petition will pray &c. Darius Glasgow

HUNTINGDON, PA., Jan. 26/06.
Hon. V. Warner,
Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
We have been requested by Mrs. Sarah Simpson to make some inquiry in relation to the position and services of her father, James Glasgow, in the Revolutionary War. We wrote the War Department and they very kindly gave us the information in their possession, but it being somewhat meager and uncertain, they suggested that we might learn something from your department. We, therefore, write you and shall be very thankful to you if you will favor us with information upon the following matter: James Glasgow, the father of Mrs. Simpson, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, but his daughter is unacquainted with his early history and greatly desires for her own sake, and the sake of her family to learn what the records say as to what service he was in, his rank and company and the time of his enlistment and service. His widow, Jane Glasgow enjoyed a pension from the government up until the time of her death in 1869. James Glasgow died about October 13, 1840 in Mifflin County, Pa.
Whatever expense or charges there may be for sending information, we will be very willing to pay.
Respectfully, etc.
J. R. & W. B. Simpson
